Casa Camelia is projected under the premise of having a weekend house that would have all the essential elements that, in our experience, these recreation spaces should have, so that the entire house can literally be opened towards its four coordinates, generating entrances of very important light and air, with views of the golf course and green areas that surround us.
The finishes in this house are sustainably low-maintenance and we use mostly native and neighboring regions, with neutral colors, natural textures and friendly to restful coexistence. One of the objectives of the project was to annul the interior-exterior borders, having cross ventilation and the use of thermal materials.
One of the most important elements is the use of wood, which gives scale to the double heights and above all generates warmth and acoustics, which also helps us connect the interior with the exterior, losing the border line, unifying the spaces. The orientation of the house allows us to open the large windows in any season of the year and have a warm and comfortable temperature, generating a tranquility that can only be found outside the big city.
Living inwards, without altering more than the physical space of the building, the house is inserted in nature, lighting being one of the main factors and taking advantage of the climate of the Mexican Bajio, the spaces open from end to end in a flow space continuum. The program allows very independent visits and essential places of coexistence for this use, we generate very private terraces with a pool, neutralizing elements such as air and privacy, garden terraces more open to the environment, with double heights and patios with natural lighting and ventilation.
